Amanda's, did you think I meant "wee" as in small? I note you're in Caithness! (Only teasing.) Anyway, it's true people interpret smells differently - for me it's urine rather than sweaty feet. Thanks Mr. Tumnus, will try the oil idea. As for limonium, what about things like tree fern? It must be the treatment! Seems a bad idea when a lot of these things are used in bouquets.

By the way, excuse my ignorance but what's the icon all about?!

I find gyp always has a wee wee smell i tend to put it down the far end of the shop by a window!!! Still stinks tho lol.
But i agree with mr tum pink gyp dont smell!
Im not a huge fan of gyp but it fills stuff up great and looks good for wedding stuff, but it smell like wee!!!

Thanks for the hint Mr Tum, I wonder if that will work for Limonium? I can cope with the smell of gyp but Limonium gets put in the yard I once made the mistake of trying to dry the stuff, and was sure something had died in the room it was in
